      @@billding6626 Of course I saw the video of Magnus & Pete complete the 2 minute challenge, but it was done on a skinny diameter spinning bar which isn't as hard as a larger 2" diameter bar. I would say the same thing if Magnus did all of his climbing videos climbing up the wall using the easier routes. There is a reason why some hang challeng locations use a 2" diameter spinning bar, because it is almost impossible for everyone that tries. Because Magnus is such a high-level athlete I'm sure that he could do it, but it would be nice to see how easy he could crush the challenge on a 2" diameter spinning bar. :)

    I've commented elsewhere that there's an enormous difficulty gap between the 20 second L-sit and the 5 second front lever. I can do the 20 second L-sit, but I'm not even close to getting into the front lever--I'm not even able to do some of the exercises (such as a bent-leg front lever) that people do to work into the front lever. Given some of the amazing leavittation crack climbing stuff I've seen you do, there's absolutely no way you and I should be getting the same core score. If there's one improvement I'd make to the test, closing the gap between 6 and 7 for the core segment somehow would be the thing.

    • @iliailinsky6601

    • @CLANK...
      @CLANK... 3 роки тому +1

      That's very true. Bent leg FL seems like the best intermediate exercise. So maybe bin off the 15/20sec L sit and instead have 5/10sec bent knee FL? Could be better (and more conducive to climbing movement) 🤷‍♂️

I do a lot more bouldering than sport climbing though. My max ever bouldering was 6c/v5 indoor, 6b/v3 outdoor. Not sure how boulder grades compare to sport grades, but based on my score I think I need to drop some weight and work on some endurance and technique lol...

  • @brendanacord2557
    @brendanacord2557 3 роки тому +1

    Some thoughts on the test:
    1. It’s a proxy for climbing strength but doesn’t account for technique, this was stressed by Magnus in his video
    2. Because of 1 it’s probably much more applicable and accurate for advanced level climbers (like you both, and Magnus and the guys who invented the test)
    3. I’m a rubbish climber, but have good core strength so did the L-sit for 20 seconds just fine but both hanging exercises crushed me, so my thought is if you have one or two of four where you excel then it is skewing the score and it would give an over inflated score for novices like me

    • @WideBoyz
      @WideBoyz  3 роки тому

      Yes I agree with this :) the test results are only going to show resonable results if you have some basic technique and don't completely max on some areas and fail at others. for exmaple calithenics folks and gymnasts would get much higher grades than they would be able to climb. their finger strength score would be very low which is one of the most important factors in climbing, yet their front lever would be impressive, which is much less important creating a bit of an invalid score

  • @weggimbuoe
    @weggimbuoe 3 роки тому +1

    I have two problems with this test:
    1. Hanging (endurance test) with thumb over or under can make a big difference depending how strong your thumb is. Magnus got 4.28 min with thumb over and 4.13 min with thumb under (On a norwegian show). I'm not saying Pete lacks endurance, but it would be interesting to see how he would score with thumb over.
    2. To do a front lever is much more depend on you lats and back strength than the strength of your core muscles. If you can do 15 sec of v-sits, your abs are probably strong enough to do 10-15 sec of front lever.

    • @TheMasterMacc
      @TheMasterMacc 3 роки тому

      I think thats one of the hardest things to stack. Going for a V-Sit would be limited by flexibility. Going for a full front lever from a 20s L-Sit is quite the increase in difficulty especially for your lats.
      But a high end climber is probably on the way to achieve a front lever. I can hold a tuck FL for about 7s, but thats not limited by my core strength.

    Pete & Magnus have incredible grip/hang strength. Tazio Biondo “The Italian Butterfly” isn’t bad at hanging either! LOL
    I would like to see if you and other UA-camrs can do a 2 minute hang challenge using a 2” rotating bar. You & Magnus did a hang challenge video using an easier “Skinny Bar”, but I’d like you & Magnus step-it-up & use a 2” diameter bar than spins like some of the harder Hang Challenges locations have. I’m sure that you & Magnus could do it, but I’d like to see a video showing the difference in difficultly in the bar size for you guys, and Mari too if she can do it.
    If you can’t figure out how to do the challenge to a 2” diameter bar you could copy my rotating bar setup that I made to practice at home. It is a wood pole the same 2” diameter as 2 minute challenge at Knott’s Berry Farm Amusement Park in CA USA that I go to. It sits on top of my square pullup bar frame & has two U-shaped muffler clamps bolted over the top of the square pullup frame on each side of wood pole on both ends to hold it in place, but still allows it to spin. I got the muffler clamps at an auto parts store and the pole from “Home Depot” home improvement store. The bar only contacts the pullup bar frame on both sides & there is little contact between the bar & tops of the “U shaped” muffler clamps, so not allot of resistance to keep in from spinning. (With ball bearings it would be even harder)
    A larger diameter bar is more difficult since you can't get your fingers around the bar as much & you can’t place your thumb over your finger to keep the bar from rotating. Using a larger diameter bar means that your forearms must hold your wrist in that position to keep the bar from rotating. It causes your forearms to fatigue quicker due to the wrist/muscle being flexed & since it must support your full body weight for 2 min.
    Knott’s Berry Farm Amusement Park where I go uses a 2” over-sized spinning bar:
    Google “Knott's Berry Farm Hang Time - Hang for 120 second” and you will see a 6 year old girl complete the 2 min challenge on a 2” spinning bar, she is amazing! She had to hang from a “false-grip” for 2 min while the bar kept spinning! I’ve seen some adults only last 10-20 seconds. I’ve completed the Knott’s hang challenge many times (I have a yearly pass) and I’ve never seen anyone else complete it while I was there. The video of the 6 year old girl the only other successful attempt that I’ve seen. I saw one teenager fall off the bar with 1 second left!
    Google “2 minutes hang challenge! (possible?)” to see how most average adults do at the challenge.

  • @joshuaw.9649
    @joshuaw.9649 2 роки тому +1

    For beginners and intermediate climbers you have to cap your score at the finger strength test.
    For example: Before I started climbing I could do a 4 min hang, 5 sec front lever and 150% pull up. My fingers would have only got to level 1... but my score would be a 5.12c or 7b level climber.
    NOW I can only get to level 2 on the finger test if I cap the rest at 2 (2+2+2+2=8) I get a 5.11 or 6b+ (at best I've done 5.10c but I'm sure better technique could carry me another grade or 2)
    That's totally realistic for my strength. There's no way I'm climbing 7a routes just because I can do a front lever

      That’s to be avoided during training.
      The full crimp with arched fingers which that thumb involved diverts force through the knuckles and pulley ligaments.
      Half crimp transmits the force longitudinally through the tendons into the fkexor muscles.

    I adapted this to use 4 times the Harmonic Mean of the results of the four tests.
    This penalises climbers that are not balanced in their performance across the tests, e.g:
    Normal scoring of test: 4 x mean(10,10,1,1)=22 --> 8a
    Harmonic mean scoring: 4 x harMean(10,10,1,1)=7 --> 6c+
    I've no idea of the merit in this, but I 'feel' like a balanced test result should result in a higher predicted grade

    By the way I scored 8a and thus I haven't climbed above that grade already (I do 8a in 3 to 6 tries), I feel like I can climb harder routes by just putting more time in redpointing them, That's why I though this test would produce a higher score than what you're capable of now.
